23:12 [al-Mumimum, Mecca 74]

NOW, INDEED, We create man out of the essence of clay,"

(23: 13) and then We cause him to remain as a drop of sperm in [the womb's) firm keeping,

(23: 14) and then We create out of the drop of sperm a germ-cell, and then We create out of the germ-cell an embryonic lump, and then We create within the embryonic lump bones, and then We clothe the bones with flesh - and then We bring [all) this into being as a new creation: 5 hallowed, therefore, is God, the best of artisans! 6

23:15

And then, behold! after all this, you are destined to die; (23: 16) and then, behold! you shall be raised from the dead on Resurrection Day.

===========================================================

30:40

IT IS GOD who has created you, and then has provided you with sustenance, and then will

cause you to die, and then will bring you to life again. Can any of those beings or powers to hom you ascribe a share in His divinity 37 do any of these things? Limitless is He in His glory, and sublimely exalted above anything to which men may ascribe a share in His divinity!
